============================================================

Ruairí Ó Murchú (SF), Louth

We all accept there are factors beyond the control of the Government. We came out of the Covid pandemic and we had the issues of Brexit, which impacted on the supply chain and are impacting us all greatly, and this was then followed by a huge global crisis, in particular a European crisis, with the war in Ukraine. With regard to those factors the Government has control over, are we looking at an extension of the €100 payment? I know many hauliers have spoken about the fact they do not believe the diesel rebate scheme is fit for purpose. Is that going to be looked at? We are then back to the question we have all had over many months in the House, which concerns the possibility of room for movement in regard to VAT specifically in regard to hauliers and fuel.
